Witnesses said the man entered the credit union and handed a note to the teller demanding money. He left on foot with an undisclosed amount of money.

The man was described as in his 30s to 40s, 5 foot 8 inches to 6 foot tall and 170-180 pounds. The man was wearing dark sunglasses, a dark blue t-shirt, a navy blue ball cap and gray or navy blue jogging pants.

Witnesses said the man had fake facial hair -- a possible beard and mustache dark in color.

Pictures of the crime were captured on the credit union's surveillance cameras.

Anyone with information on the case should call Detective Joe Frentress at 515-283-4857.
